Journal Entry # 1:

(November 31st, 1778)

One day, Henri and I met in a bakery shop at Nanterre Street. We became friends right after we saw each other. Both of us weren't rich. To be honest, I was poor but then not as poor and Henri. Henri is considered one of the poorest guys. As we got closer, we started to wonder why we were poor. Henri thought that this is all Louis XVI that made them poor. Louis XVI puts everything the place a hard place to live for others. As a joke, I thought that if he gets killed, then all of us could have a better life then now! Even though I mentioned it as a joke, Henri thought that this would be a wonderful way! Since both of us can't kill him, we needed to gather more people. Chances of success would be high because lots of people in France that hates Louis and his wife. I was so excited and we spent the night discussing about the plans that we were both thinking about. Bye diary!

Journal Entry #2:

(December 1st, 1778)

I moved to the assembly which was close to my house because I wanted to see what events are going to happen there. When I tried to go in, in front of there I met Edouard. Edouard was quite a rich guy. Even though I wasn't poor, I started to get really jealous of his wealth. I could know that he was a friendly person because he said hi to me first. No one has ever said hi to me first. Since my dream is to become a famous musician, I thought about playing my own song in the assembly. I thought that if I make lots of music friends, we could become a band and play in front of the world. I wish that happens one day to me. Chances of that happening soon is not a high possibility. Bye diary!


Journal Entry #3:

(December 2nd, 1778)

Today I woke up by sounds of birds chirping. I have always wondered why birds chirp so loud. As soon as I woke up, I brushed my teeth and went outside to the streets. I was playing my favorite song in front of all the people in the streets. Once I was done playing all my songs, one of my fan came up to me and told me that Napoleon Bonaparte had crowned himself and will appear in public within a few day. I was shocked even though I didn’t know who it was. In order to find it out, I went to the bookstore and bought an article about Napoleon Bonaparte. I was really happy after I found out who he was. In order to talk about this with the people around me, I went to near the mart because lots of people gather around the mart. There I saw a old looking man so I talked to him about Napoleon Bonaparte. As we talked and talked for a while, I got to know his name and we became close friends. His name was Raoul Arpin. The revolution didn’t effect me much because the only I could think about was that Napoleon became the France emperor. Bye diary!
